LATW help please?
« on: Oct 17, 2012, 08:35: PM »
Hey guys pretty new to the forum but already love it for the advice and everything else on here, so I thought I'd ask seeing as I can't find a similar topic like mine on here..

I've been training latw a lot lately because I'm trying to beat my record, I can do 2 in a row comfortably, but I keep struggling to get my foot in the right position fast enough to make the 3rd latw. Saying that, is it about speed or just touch/technique? I find it easier to actually not jump so high so I have more time to get my leg around and then have more leg power to complete the next latw.

And also, does anyone find it easier without shoes? I seem to find it harder in shoes, the ball feels heavier and I can't get as good as a touch - is this just because I need to practice more in shoes? I'm guessing it is that lol.

Thanks

I did 4 LATWs once, so Im not sure if Im suited to help you, but I think you should just keep training them and figure your own technique. What helped me quite a lot is to keep the ball from my body as far as possible (talking about inside LATWs).

Welcome to the forum!

Assuming you have the power and all that...It's usually because you try to do the third one the same way you did the second one. You can't relax like you did for the second latw, you have to do the third one with high intensity.

It's easier because you have no weight resistance on your foot when you don't have shoes on. Train with shoes though.
